Doubles Tournament at The Grand lodge

August 5th, 2009, 08:59 PM

Wednesday was the 2nd free doubles tournament at the grand Lodge. A good time was had by all in this very casual event. A big thank you goes out to Garry Hanley for setting this up. Hopefully this event can continue on the every two weeks on wednesday nights at 6:00 pm format. THANKS AGAIN GARRY!

I thought about going, but knew it would be stressful getting out there in time. Also, I heard from the first week that it was BYOP, but you would be matched up with someone if you didn't have a partner. I think I'd rather play all random or all BYOP.

In any event, I'm excited to see Grand Lodge getting more involved with the course that they have sitting on their front lawn.

We really wanted to keep it casual...that's why we didn't make it one way or the other...it actually ended up working pretty well...after the first event, we kept it in the optional format (BYOP or let us pick a partner) because it seemed that one of the benefits of that was that more ladies were inclined to play...

and on that note...we're playing around with the idea of a ladies division...even if there's just a handful of us, I think it would be really cool.

Hey Frizbeerose Welcome Aboard!
I think its a great idea to get more women started in the sport. I think some women would feel more comfortable learning disc golf in the company of other women. I remember that one shy lady who was there the 1st night and said she only plays at the Grand Lodge. As far as keeping this going for the rest of the summer season (early October) and keeping it a free event, I think everyone had so fun that we don't really need prizes. Just getting to play disc golf in good company on a Wednesday evening is a prize for me.

I don't know how many people will show up because of the the heat but there is a lot of shade on the course . I played at Orchards twofer tuesday when it was 106 so this shouldn't be that bad. See you there.

Randy and I also got out there, and it was a nice experience. I like that the course is a lot shorter. This is the first time we'd been out to Grand Lodge, and the course has enough obstacles to keep it interesting, even with the shorter holes.

I talked to Garry, and he said that they're looking at having a beginner clinic in September. I'm really looking forward to it! I need all the help I can get.
